I played a Hammond with an external Leslie for years. Here in Michigan during the winter months you'd have to go outside and hook up the trailer, drive to the job, sometimes shovel the walk yourself so you can roll the organ in on the dolly, then hoist it on the stage, go out and get the Leslie and do it all over again. At the end of the job reverse everything except maybe the shoveling. It was sooo much work you never brought your equipment into the house. You left it outside in the trailer from 0 to 90 degrees.

Now if the keyboard is 50 pounds so what? I'm not counting those of you with health problems.

My friend just got a pair of Peavey PR series speakers with a 15' speaker and a horn. They weigh less than 20 pounds a piece and they sound great. He also got a Yamaha head that is 350 watts a side and it weighs about 8 pounds. I do really like lighter but I'm not going to complain about 50 pounds or less.
